Chapter 6 (Solutions, Acids, and Bases)
| Word | Definition |
|---|---|
| Suspension | a mixture that looks uniform when stirred or shaken, that seperates into different layers when it is no longer agitated |
| Colloid | a mixture of very tiny particles of pure substances that are dispersed in another substance but do not settle out of the substance |
| Emulsion | any mixture of immiscible liquids in which liquids are spread throughout one another |
| Solution | a homogeneous mixture of who or more substances uniformly spread throughout a single phase |
| Solute | the substance the dissolves in a solution |
| Solvent | the substance that dissolves the solute to make a solution |
| Concentration | the quantity of solute that dissolved in a given quanity of solution |
| Unsaturated Solution | a solution that is able to dissolve more solute |
| Saturated Solution | a solution that cannot dissolve any more solite at the given conditions |
| Solubility | tge greatest quantity of a solute that will dissolve in a given quanity of solvent to produce a saturated solution |
| Supersaturated Solution | a solution holing more dissolved solute than is specified by its solubility at a given temperature |
| Molarity | a concentration unit of a solution that expresses moles of solute dissolved per liter of solution |
| Acid | a substance that donates hydrogen ions to form hydronium ions, when dissolved in water |
| Indicator | a compound that can reversibly change color in a solution, depending on the concentration of hydronium ions |
| Base | a substance that either contains hydroxide ions, or rects with water to form hydroxide ions |
| pH | a measure of the hydronium ion concentration in a solution |
| Neutralization Reaction | a reaction in which hydronium ions form an acid and hydroxide ions from a base react to produce water molecules |
| Salt | an ionic compound composed of cations bonded to anions, other than oxide or hydroxide anions |
